Abstract
Based on two cases and a review of the literature, we describe a rare injury in childhood, intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Because of the insertion and traction of muscles at the proximal femur, conservative treatment is difficult. The hip muscles pull the proximal fragment into flexion, abduction and external rotation. In our opinion, surgical stabilization is the therapy of choice. We use an angular stable, locking compression plate for the stabilization of these fractures. Postoperatively, mobilization with full weight bearing is possible.
